Camera AS Scanner??

Hello to all.
Can I use my camera (Internet camera ) as a scanner (written text only ,
Not Photo) after I make a picture to this text (not photo ) by the camera?,
and I can print this text with the same size? I tried to do so, but I could
not.
Who can tell?
Thank you.

I would guess, if you have a very good lens with a macro, a very good
camera, a camera stand, and proper lighting, you can photgraph a
document. But, it will never be as good as even a low cost scanner.

A scanner is the best for documents. The document is right up against
the photo pickup.

No matter what you photograph with your camera it's going to be picture
file in the form of a .jpg, .bmp, mpeg (if a movie) and so on. Same with
a scanner. If you are trying to save the file as an editable text
document you need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) Software.
